Fire damages home on Hunter Road, Uxbridge

UXBRIDGE 
A fire that broke out Tuesday in the basement damaged a home on Hunter Road.

Fire Chief William T. Kessler said firefighters went to 66 Hunter Road about 5 p.m. and found a fire in the basement. The fire was quickly extinguished, although a second alarm had been called, the chief said.

Fire damage was confined to the basement; there was smoke damage throughout the house, the chief said. One occupant of the house was home when the fire started and called 911, he said.

The chief said the fire appears to have been accidental. Two firefighters were hurt; one was taken to a local hospital for a leg injury, the chief said.

The American Red Cross said it provided assistance to the three people displaced by the fire; the family made their own arrangements for a place to stay, the Red Cross said.
